Summary: "A Prison Make" by William W. Stuart is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story explores themes of identity, justice, and the absurdities of modern society, focusing on a man who finds himself inexplicably imprisoned in a Kafka-esque environment where he is unable to recall his past or why he is being held. The narrative delves into the dehumanizing and surreal conditions of his confinement. The protagonist, known as Jay 7, wakes up in a prison cell with no memory of how he got there or the crimes he allegedly committed. As he navigates his bleak surroundings, he discovers that he is in a state-run facility for "protective custody," where his rights and realities are dictated by a robotic lawyer, Mr. Boswell. The story unfolds as Jay 7 reacts to the cruelty of his situation, facing the psychological torment of isolation and manipulation from the prison system. Despite attempts to make sense of his environment and plan for escape, he learns that the prison door is not locked, symbolizing the illusion of his captivity and the deeper philosophical questioning of what freedom truly means.
